CBT. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy / Counselling is an effective talking therapy where you and I work together to help change the underlying reasons and causes that are affecting your life and making you unhappy. These are usually habitual and unhelpful ways of thinking that you may not be fully aware of.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy /Counselling
Face to face CBT “Zoom” Sessions (Online using Computer or mobile phone.) are the ideal solution.
Zoom sessions are every bit as effective as meeting face to face.
Each session is 50 mins.
Too busy at work? Zoom sessions are your solution.
“Zooming” is a way for us to talk face to face over the internet. Zoom sessions can be had in the comfort of your own home or any personal space, some folk actually have appointments during their lunch breaks at work.
With Zoom meets there is no travelling time or having to find a car parking space, i.e they take up less time during your day and many find them a more than satisfactory alternative to traditional face to face sessions. All paperwork is e-mailed or posted.
Per session. £47.00.
for Zooming you will need
A laptop or computer with a camera. Most have cameras installed. if not they are available from Amazon, around £20-30.
Or a modern Mobile phone.
If you are like me and not up to speed with it all just give me a phone and I’ll explain. Like all things new, once you’ve done it its easy.
ZOOMING. WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
We make a date and time for your appointment.
I will send you an e mail.
In it there will be a link, (it’s the long line of letters and numbers in blue).
20 minutes before your appointment left click this link and you will be taken to Zoom’s website where you will be directed to download their software, this is a one-off. It’s an easy process just follow the instructions on your screen. You will then be in my waiting room as it were. Relax have a cup of tea. I will know you are there and I will start the appointment on time. My face will appear on your screen and we begin.
Dont worry about using the internet, Zoom has all the security in place to make your details safe.
For those of you who are computer savvy its a breeze. If I can do it anyone can, believe me.

Make ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION THINGS OF THE PAST
CBT is an effective talking therapy. It covers a wide range of conditions both mental and physical. Simply put it will help you to look at the way you think, what thoughts are guiding you and how they affect the way you act. There will be thoughts that are not working in your best interest and its those we work on to make a change for the better, these are the thoughts that you probably are not aware you are having.
People like to know how long it takes. Approximately 6 - 12 sessions is about average but its all about how well you work at it. The answer is that all people are different so length of therapy will vary.
CBT- what can it treat? Is this you?
It’s not uncommon for people to suffer from - Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Phobias, Depression, Insomnia, Self Confidence Issues, Eating Disorders, Anger Management or Addictions. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 people will experience one of these in their lives. If you suffer from one of these don't worry, you are not losing your mind and you are not alone they are all treatable with CBT.
BUT WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS AND STILL FEEL STRANGE?
I am often approached by people who cannot put a finger on their problem. The stresses of modern life, work, financial problems, relationships and home & family responsibilities can sometimes make us feel lost, direction-less, confused and chaotic. In time this pressure can build up and manifest as either physical, mental or emotional symptoms. Sometimes life can just catch up with us. CBT can help with this too.
In fact it's worth having a few sessions of CBT as a preventative measure to head off any potential future illness. There may be things happening now that could be dealt with before they escalate.
